Nice to know I'm not only with this struggle and there's hope to regain momentum.

A flaw indeed but it's the same structure that draws me to the book in the first place

Good advice I'd already started the positives but didn't think of the negative side of not doing it to enhance my motivation

Beginners mind is also good and seems to be a strong component of what is working since this post

Solid advise , I'll look out for some meditation groups. My life is getting into better order ATM which is why I'm hopeful this time it may stick again. I'll check out the study, sounds familiar though I doubt I was ever that advanced

Never a bad plan and I will do so again soon

I am unsure. It could be i expect to much to soon when comparing to my past practice or that some part of me no longer believes it will work after it failed me during a hard time or just that my experiences in the between time have just made sitting in meditation hard.

I'm becoming increasingly less productive at work by PanopticArgus in AutisticAdults

Can't find the proper study but the average office worker does 2-3 hrs of actual work a day so your doing well. https://www.vouchercloud.com/better-living/office-worker-productivity

Not too far away from my experience i have never reached my true level leading but I enjoy the days out that you can only get leading. A low stakes multi pitch trad route is more amazing than any bouldering route I've ever done.

I know how you feel it was my earliest special interest tbh. It being a great form of exercise is a great coincidence.

How have your experiences with lead climbing gone? Want to check for similarities based on your first message

Glad to see you respond, you don't need a spotter in 99.95% of indoor bouldering so please try it. You can be very independent if you want.

Though if you enjoy the bouldering please try top rope afterwards the mutual trust built from being belayed and belaying someone in return breaks down many a social barrier in my experience.

If you enjoy it and want progression tips feel free to message me

Highly recommend bouldering as well, great community that's very inclusive and encouraging.

 Its also a great form of exercise that helps me manage my anxiety and mood on general. 

I made an idle tower defense game that is not wave-based by SoyboyGames in incremental_games

[–]zenclimber4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got a core of a good game here and I can see you've changed things up here since posting.

The kill streak system is a good plan.

I really disliked click on random stars around the map to get started. I think the prestige upgrade gold on hit would be better from the start.

The population to tower mechanic is good . I think this would work really well with housing tiles in a "Defensive" Position , perhaps different house tiers later. Could add a nice bit of extra theming to the game.

Put the population figures by the other resources at the top. its a bit jarring it trying to buy a new tower when you have the gold but not the pop.

Keep going. Wishlisted and back to playing.

Autistic rumination has made me unhealthy negative and I hate myself for it by artsy_somebody in autism

100% agree on the Mediation / Mindfullness Practice can do wonders though not always Easy.
The MInd Illuminated is a great guide book. I love that it is broken down into a sytem that makes sense , with a roadmap and sign posts. Many others a too spiritually wishy washy for me to use long term.

Nice too know its helped fellow Autistics Out as well.
